Inch Bay , November '09

Inch Bay is one of the many wonderful beaches in East Cork,
It's often a haunt for the surfing community,
But today I had it all to myself,
And I was in for a treat,
This evening there was a magnificent sunset.
One of those rare occasions when nature make us feel very humble........Enjoy!

This is how it's all done, my Canon 7D mounted on a tripod.

Goat Island

Took a spin to Ardmore today,

Stopped off at goat Island. I hadn't been here before, so It was more a scouting mission then anything else.

Weather was a bit mixed, but it's a place I will revisit again.

Enjoy...........

This is the same shot as the previous one but this one was taken with a 10 stop filter,

So this one worked out at f22 @ 240 seconds

Again using the 10 stop filter,

f22@ 70 secs

West Cork

I took a drive to West Cork yesterday.......

Atlantic Breakers at Red Strand

It's one of my favorite places to go.

Plenty of photo ops.

First stop was Red Strand, from there to Galley Head, onwards to Long Strand.

Abandoned Boat at Galley Head

Breaking Waves at Red Strand

The plan was to continue on to Owinahincha and from there to Toe Head.

A Big Change in the Weather

Unfortunately, after Long Strand the weather turned for the worse and I had to abort.

Never Mind, I'll just have to go back again soon :)
